Check In @ your library, March 10-16, 2013
Resource for Sharing with Local Officials
Share this Issue Brief from YALSA with the elected officials and policy makers in your town and state: http://bit.ly/AyI06V. It focuses on the role libraries play in keeping teens safe online, which is often a hot topic in local, state and federal government. Passing this on to your officials can help ensure that they are knowledgeable about the important work that you do. Is sharing this an act of lobbying? Nope. You're just providing information--not asking for anything. How might you share it? Send an email, drop by in person, include it in a newsletter for policy makers, have your teens deliver it, or however else you feel is appropriate.
